In short
OneTrust is built for large enterprises with a privacy team, a data-mapping program and IAB TCF obligations — a powerful platform, but sales-led and hard to justify for a 5-page shop. FewCookies gives you exactly the compliant layer you need — live this afternoon, one line of code, €6/month — without a sales cycle or a consultant.

Where OneTrust is genuinely stronger
OneTrust covers everything: IAB TCF, DSAR automation, data-mapping, assessments and enterprise certifications. If you have a privacy team and ad-tech obligations, it is a serious platform — a different category from ours.

Frequently asked questions
Is FewCookies a smaller OneTrust?
No — we are a different category. OneTrust is an enterprise privacy / GRC platform. FewCookies is the complete consent layer for a shop: scan, block, Consent Mode v2, hosted policies and proof, at €6/month.
Do I need IAB TCF and DSAR, like OneTrust?
Rarely, if you are a shop or an agency. If you genuinely need IAB TCF or automated DSAR workflows, OneTrust is the right tool. If you need working Consent Mode v2 and a banner that actually blocks, that is FewCookies.
How fast is setup versus OneTrust?
FewCookies starts with a single line of code and a free scan, no sales cycle. OneTrust typically involves an implementation and an annual contract.
